FREE STREAMING MUSIC VIDEOS

Everyone loves music videos. They're a highly enjoyable form of
entertainment. If you like music, its almost a given that you will like
music videos. My dad is 65 and he quite likes Eminem's music videos, he
even likes some of Green Day's music videos. He has a taste for off the
wall, my dad. He also has an eye for the ladies, not the half naked ones
in the R&B videos or most of the rap videos but he likes Pink,
thinks that she is pretty because she has character (and a hot body that
she is not afraid of showing off), he digs her music too. He likes
Annie Lennox for the same reason, she doesn't show off her body but she
has character and it comes out in her music and music videos. He's also a
bit eclectic is my dad.

Everybody
has his or her own unique taste in music. Some people have very
specific tastes and some people's tastes are very broad, they're the
lucky ones because they can listen to a wide variety of music and not
get irritated by what they hear very quickly. Very often people have a
secret taste in music that they are a little ashamed of. This is because
it's often something that they would ordinarily mock but suddenly they
find that they like some of a particular artist's music and they feel
the need to buy the new cd. They feel dreadful doing it and the
self-chastisement and self-flagellation that they go through is enormous
but don't think that they don't get enormous joy out of the cd also.
They just don't tell people about it. Only mutual sharing of
embarrassing music will allow the secret to be told and only if the
other person's music is deemed to be more embarrassing than theirs. Key
point, panpipes always wins in the embarrassing stakes, nothing beats
panpipes, nothing, not even Spice Girls (but its close).

The fact
that we can feel such acute embarrassment by something as silly as the
music we listen to just goes to show what a powerful role music plays in
our lives. We identify ourselves by the type of music that we listen
to. Take a look at the Goth subculture; they are heavily influenced by
the music that they listen to. The clubs that they go to only play Goth
music, everyone dresses in a way that identifies them as Goth. The
ravers are the same, they listen to rave music, dress a particular way,
talk a particular way and have identified themselves as part of a
particular subculture. They take pride in their identity. There are
subcultures for every kind of music, even teenybopper pop as little
girls identify with whoever the current icon is (no longer Britney
Spear, thank goodness). There is very little crossover between
subcultures. They tend to stick very much to themselves and to judge
other music subcultures as inferior in every way possible.

Even
if we don't identify so strongly to a subculture that we adopt its
dress, make-up, language and mode of life, music still plays an
important role in every day life. It affects our moods or we play music
to reflect our moods, we use it to keep ourselves company in our cars or
when we are alone in our homes, it helps concentration, it relieves
stress and tension and helps us relax, it sets the mood for a party or
for a romantic night in with our partners. Scientific research has even
proved that if played to babies while still in the womb it can make your
children smarter, but that has to be a certain type of music, not just
any old keys will do. Love of music is inherent, babies smile laugh and
dance from before they can stand when they here music and they develop
their own taste early on. It may be similar to their parents but not
necessarily. Its all part of what makes life interesting.

When it
comes to music videos you may not necessarily like the artist but you
can still like the video. Ricky Martin for instance, not that musically
gifted but that man can swing his booty like no one's business. His
music videos are a joy to watch.
